Simply Rustic Chocolate Truffles

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer. Stir in the butter until melted, and then stir in the chocolate chips, stirring constantly just until melted and smooth.

2. 2

   Remove from the heat and stir in the extract or liqueur of your choice. (This is your place to play, so try something fun! I have also made these with peppermint Schnapps and with hazelnut liqueur! Or you can use 1 teaspoon of your favorite extract, if you don't want to use a liqueur.)

3. 3

   Pour into a shallow bowl, cool and then cover and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, until the chocolate is firm. Using a small spoon, scoop out chocolate, roll in cocoa powder and place in a container lined with waxed paper.

4. 4

   These will keep, covered in the fridge, for 2 weeks. If they last that long!
